Vehicle Description
This is a one of one Yenko Nova. It started life as an SS396/375hp (Yes... L-78!). The original owner was a friend of Don Yenko. This car is a piece of automotive history. During the upgrade of this car, Don Yenko bought the rights to Chevrolet's all aluminum ZL-1 engines that were factory under-rated at 460hp. They were too expensive to put in any production vehicle or to mass produce so all of them were specific to every car that received one. At the hands of the worlds top engine builder, 'Grumpy Jenkins', the engine for this Nova was custom-made, precisely blueprinted then hand poured and assembled. In the end, and almost $11k later, the 447cid, all aluminum, Can-Am series big block was said to produce well over 600hp! This was a personal endeavour of Don Yenko and Grumpy Jenkins to make the fastest and toughest Chevrolet that you could put on the street. So with all that horsepower, the car is rocketed forward at the control of Muncie's 'Rockcrusher' M-22 4-speed trans. The rear is the original 12-bolt with a HD 4.30:1 gearset. The paint is less than 2 years old and the entire car was professionally restored at that time. It has been owned by a responsible adult and less than 25 miles have been put on the car in the last decade. It is an original black on black, big block, L78 Nova and has all the delivery info from 1969 to prove that the car was originally sold at Yenko Chevrolet. When the car was transformed, by Yenko, they were very meticulous about making sure that all the documentation and work orders are signed by Don Yenko himself and reflected all the correct identification to prove that all the drivetrain is original to the car. There is so much more about this car that makes it so incredibly special. If you are seriously interested in purchasing the car and would like more info, please feel free to call, text or email me.
